More about this scene
The Corporation renovated the house, and the museum opened in 1910. There were eight rooms displaying various eclectic items of local history, art and specialised collections. Most items were donated. During the Second World War, the museum closed to the public and never reopened. For some years in the 1950s and 1960s, Whitewell Dairies ran a café on the ground floor.
